Trial by Roadside: The Corporate Cost - Encore | Freight People

You asked, we listened – Trial by Roadside: The Corporate Cost returns for one last showing! Don't miss your chance to be a part of the jury service that had the industry talking.

An HGV driver employed by a national logistics company faces a charge of causing death by dangerous driving following a collision with a cyclist. The Director from the same organisation is investigated and charged under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.

Become the Jury as you follow the criminal investigation of both parties from roadside to police interview, culminating in a trial which explores the potential ramifications of the proceedings to the driver, company and Director.

Based on a real case handled by a Lawyer at LMP Legal. This is the last chance to see this trial live in action

Last year's event was a huge success, with rave reviews from attendees – and this year promises to be bigger and better! Don’t miss your chance to meet and network with leading industry figures, colleagues, and peers at the corporate event of the year.
